Vicki the Dwarf.

Yeh, but, no, but, yeah, but.That ork looked at me funny, so i is gonna smash 'im one, minging ork. yeah.


The miniatures are very cartoony, and the porcelain smoothness of the skin when compared to the rest of the figure adds to the look. Excellent.. but you gotta call her Vicki

I really love those paint jobs, the skin and the metals both look very slick  :clap2:
Unfortunately I really hate the Rackham dwarfs.

They look great.  Your paint jobs really suit these minis  :occasion14:.

The more I see of these minis...the more I like them...I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not  :icon_scratch:.

Hmm probably 5-6 hours over a few sittings, I'm trying to slow down a bit.

Thanks for the comments, I'm trying to improve my metals at the moment and she was a good subject.

Finally getting the hang of eyes. I do them first as per redzed's tute: http://www.sd-forum.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9086

I then do the flesh as normal and line under the eye with a dark brown and dot in a reflection.  Haven't gone as far as this though: http://www.destroyerminis.com/eyes.php

Careful there... sick perversions have a tendency to creep up on you... before youknow it you'll be lying there in the BIG pool of oil surrounded by alluring nekkid dwarves... with whips...  And leather thongs... And then there's just NO turning back.

Me though, being the cleanminded individual that I am all free of dirty thoughts of the above nature, run no such risk so I can just declare these gals to be smashing paintjobs  :icon_wink:

SHAME on you Inso. I never thought that about you  :icon_ermm:
